trek

I am so FREAKING pumped, broskis.

>>87580799
Damn straight, OP. Jacked up and good to go.

>>87580799

Hasn't been getting great reviews so far, and we may be in for an awkward first season. So basically this is trek.

Why do all the women have to wear trousers? They should all wear short but not miniskirt short skirts and pantyhose.

>>87580919
I'll trust trek fans over reviewers. I think this show is meant for us and the reviewers don't really get that.

scifi show on fox, it will be dead in 6 months. If it doesn't get canned immediately they'll start fucking with the time slot in the next 30 days (like they always do). It'll move from Sundays to Tuesdays to Thursdays and then to Wednesday, they'll make it impossible for it to build an audience.

this is straight up cancer

>>87581437

So far kinda feels like Seth is holding back because he wants this to be a genuine love letter to Trek and not just Family Guy or Ted in Space.

Well, the production value is nice.

This is really, really bad. Not funny. So many cringe worthy scenes.

Black guy seems like worst character so far.

woah...

>Fleet admiral(S)

So far this actually isn't awful

Regardless of the tone, it is really odd seeing a big, orchestral-backed, space show on network TV again.

As an actress, how do you do you go your life with a mole RIGHT BETWEEN YOUR FUCKING EYES and not have anyone recommend you remove that shit

Yeah this >>87582000

Not even sure who this is really targeting to be honest.

cancel Orville and just play Spaceballs for the rest of the night

>>87582050
about 10%

Might be a slow burn desu

We'll see if it's typical McFarlane shit or has a bit more substance. Given that this is broadcast TV, though, I'm not wildly optimistic.

>>87582057
It's targeting Star Trek fans.

>>87581953

Troi never managed to drive Riker to drink. Also Riker managed to keep Troi from getting RIDGED.

But that just mean Bashir got friend zoned.

I am laughing my BUTT off at this. Have laughed so hard so many times so far. But also, it's really kind of important and serious. Love this show.

Diggin the music. Mcfarlane always does orchestra well.

>>87581953
People probably spend their time looking a bit lower

>>87581738
Look up Jordan B. Peterson on YouTube.

This is going to do just as well as the Cleveland Show. The Winner, Dads, Border Town, etc, etc, etc

I haven't laughed once. What a terrible show.

>>87580799
football - boo - have to wait for good show to come on

The comedy is just awful. But it does feel like it's trying to emulate normal trek.

Wtf Bashir's dad has white hair now.

>>87582179
It's not a comedy.

And then Bashir's dad showed up for some reason.

I have laughed multiple times. What a great show.

dog licking balls behind bashirs dad = first laugh of the show

>>87582216
Why was it advertised as a comedy then?

>>87582179

its an attempt at sincere drama with comedy mixed in

>>87582216
Then why is it making shit attempts at humor? It's a shit drama too let's rule that out as well.

You know what? This show has been really terrific so far. Just great. I kinda like this program. Hope FOX keeps it around! ;)

>>87582243
Because Fox

Holy shit do they not have teleporters??

>falsifying info
>could go to jail
I chuckled.

>genetic research
MacFarlane really is a Trek fan.

This has got flop written all over it.

all these shots are giving me nostalgia, at least they got that right. conversations going down long hallways, spacecraft slowly coming into view. soundtrack is nice too

>>87582263
they made the pilot like that because fox wouldn't let them do a serious sci fi show so they pitched it as a comedy. it is supposed to get more serious n later episodes

Fucking PS2 FMV CGI... really? Why make it at all?

>Tardigrade DNA

Neat.

>>87582090
So this is supposed to be Star Trek, but shitting on the idea that humanity can improve itself even in a post-material society.

>>87582296
Thanks for the insight Seth. I hope the show goes well!

>>87582243
Fox and sci-fi man. They still have not learned from firefly

Ahahahahaahahahaha!!!

Another fox disaster!

>>87582276
I think now they do

Ok that act fade out was RIGHT out of Star Trek. If they drop the comedy this show might be good.

Wow seth. Are you even trying?

>>87582292

Just wait till discovery bombs even harder. People will be calling this the better of the two, and fox will keep it around just to kill cbs online

>>87582005
>every single post on 4chan requires a herculean effort
The show sucks. Stop shilling this abortion here and maybe you'll be a happier person.

>>87582342
No one will care about either production. This show is trash. Discover will have no audience.

Fox will cancel this in a week.

>>87582332
>please respond to me
>please

I better see some double fist punches

Ive never watched star trek, havent watch family guy in years, and i love this already. What's wrong with me?

Drop the comedy bullshit and go for legit dialogue and I could probably buy into this show.

Seth has the voice of a handsome man.

If nothing else this will at least be unironically better than STD

>>87582349

>>87582446

People who like big budget sci fi shows.

This is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Is it trying to be a comedy or a drama?

so seth is just one of those people that gets unlimited money for any show he wants?

>>87582446
>Who is this show for?
According to this thread, shills.

>>87582446
The comedy is certainly awful, and the drama even worse.

But I'm getting legit trek vibes from it. Again, if they go for actually well-written dialogue and drop the dumb comedy and retarded ex-wife drama, they could make this work.

Damn son

oh shit that lady got grannified

SHE CHOSE POORLY

The krill ship is sexy desu

guy's a bit autistic 2bh

>>87582489
like family guy, even seth doesnt know and cant decide. really wish theyd tone down both the comedy and drama because it ACTUALLY feels like star trek on some level

RIP Black Asian scientist.

Take Family Guy, it's only funny when it's mocking something (satire, their parodies are awful).

I unironically like how the story is progressing
I unironically hate the comedy and the ex-wife dynamic
I ironically like the over-the-topness of the characters' abilities

They're turning up the SJW dial from Ellen 90s tier to modern-day tumblr-tier.

>>87583333
If it catches the attention of star trek fans, they might just get passionate enough to try and save the show in case of looming cancelation. That's how Family Guy was saved. Heck that's how Star Trek TOS was saved!

>>87583356
No, because of the SJW route it's taking where LOOK WE HAVE DIVERSITY WE HAVE AN ASIAN WOMAN AND A GAY GUY SEE HE'S REALLY GAY!

Very mediocre but not unentertaining or not at least smirkworthy at times.

I hope the quality picks up. Very crisp aesthetics, nice smooth flow and pacing, but the content really wasn't there and they need to work on that. I thought the main story of his wife and the divorce just was a little too easy to start with for a comedy.

The Star Trek IP became a clusterfuck of rights and licenses. I believe the people working on STD aren't allowed to use some specific characteristics of the old Star Trek shows. That's why it looks more like JJ Trek.

I tuned in late, but what I saw was very cringy and unfunny. It reminded me of Seth's Wild West film, which was also mediocre. The effects were mostly good for TV, and certain shots/scenes felt very much like Star Trek, but for someone who isn't a big fan of Star Trek, so what (I have barely watched the original series and none of Picard's series)? Instead of shoehorning Seth-isms into a classic narrative style, why not create something organic?

I would rate "Sci-Fi Movie: the Show" lower, but I think it has potential and maybe the pilot was just fucked to sell the show.

>>87580799
I was slightly interested until they mentioned his fucking ex wife will be his second in command that kinda shit is goddawful tv bullshit that really wrecks whatever sci fi theme they were going for.

What fucking guy that wants to watch comedy or drama about the exploration of space wants a divorce plotline with a bitchy 'powerful' ex wife. It's like adding a fucking cuck scenario.

They kind of neatly tied most of the storyline though in the episode. beyond this point, they'll probably only use some small comedy bits for it.

Otherwise, you can basically just plan on them having a nice relationship.

But during the episode, I know what you mean. It was flat out awful.

Was a great show until they killed off Arcturus because the producers didn't like Johnathan Rhys Davies. I was honestly shocked they killed him off he carried that fucking show.

Then they brought in Angry Tits as a replacement to soften the blow and I'll admit she's pretty gud but killing the professor was a fucking sin.

Basically there's 2 criticisms:
1) It's going to be on CBS's streaming service (valid)
2) The cast is made up of people other than straight white dudes. Seriously, this reads like Strawmanning, but then you see a post like >>87583429 where literally having other races/orientations makes the show "SJW". I guess the original show is SJW too. (invalid)

Hopefully the ex wife thing and all the cringy jokes were amplified in the first episode to get the show off the ground for most people. Looking at the sneak peaks for the rest of the season it seemed to contain much less bad comedy

They did but they literally did not advertise it like they did.

They were all just characters that were well written. They were more than just fucking skin deep.

But it's obviously with the advertising for STD that they are literally all about playing up the character's races and ethnicities and sexual orientations and stuff.

I wonder what Mike Stoklasa thinks of it.

wew lad.

the races aren't the problem, the problem is that "diversity" is the entire selling point of the show. Trying to sell Star trek on diversity alone, is like trying to sell a car on "it runs on gasoline!"

no shit Star trek is diverse. that's never been the main selling point, that's the setting.

also, it's another prequel series set between Enterprise and ToS, which is incredibly limiting, and the cast just is not that impressive.

Let's also not forget the OC DONUT STEEL SPOCK'S SISTER WE NEVER KNEW HE HAD ZOMG

and the fact that it is trying to fit into the original trek universe's world, while at the same time being a JJ trek Tv show that takes cues from those movies. making it look nothing like a prequel.

the races of the characters are the LEAST of it's problems. Nobody ever had a problem with Deep Space 9.

Every other Star Trek is literally a cast of different races and fucking SPECIES.

The point was that they were more than just skin-deep. The entire point of Star Trek is that it's 300 years into the future, where we as a species have finally gone beyond all that superficial stuff, so nobody cares about it anymore.

By stressing that fact in STD, they completely fucking miss the point.

You didn't watch the first season of the TNG, it was basically, Character X, gets traits from character Y of ToS. It was only season 2 onwards that they were allowed to grow into their own thing.
Pulaski, even if she was just Bones in drag and left after one season, did more to push character development for Data and Worf than anything else in the series.

>>87583534
What does this mean? The name is vaguely familiar

I liked it. You can tell Mcfarlane made it with love. it isn't insulting Star Trek, it's a parody done right.

And ironically, it feels less like a typical parody and more like Star Trek minus the melodrama and with a bit more of "fun with tropes".

Like a character actually going to the bathroom.

the Ex marriage thing with the Captain and First officer is honestly a really interesting setup

>You didn't watch the first season of the TNG, it was basically, Character X, gets traits from character Y of ToS. It was only season 2 onwards that they were allowed to grow into their own thing.
Yes and no. There were some very obvious distinct features about each character that made them original.

But even then, the development of the characters was because of the STORY and the fact that the characters had more going on around them. I'm 90% sure that STD is going to relate every aspect of the story back to race/ethnicity/nationality/sexuality/gender.

>>87584048
It means a character than everyone thinks is a lesbian

>>87584051
Ever since the first preview people were saying that it was going to be a better Star Trek than STD and it looks like they were right.

>>87583841
Black Doctor is good tier just because she did her fucking job by checking to see if the scientist who's head was aged a 100 years was still alive. If this were Star Trek, everyone would assume she was dead and move on. She actually took the time to check if she had vitals.

Find me a Star Trek doctor who actually does that.

You missed 3) Yet another prequel, featuring Spock's never-mentioned-before adapted "sister", so by definition the show cannot seek out new life, seek out new worlds and new civilizations, and cannot boldly go where no one has gone before.
